Summary

Introduction

В статье рассматриваются роль и значение инструментов «мягкой силы» во внешней политике России. В статье обосновывается вывод, что, наряду с использованием таких инструментов «мягкой силы», как культура, публичная дипломатия, СМИ, образование, наука и др., Россия может оказывать «мягкое» воздействие на акторов мировой политики, используя экономическую силу. Эффективность воздействия «мягкой силы» России на международное сообщество может существенно возрасти также с помощью формирования положительного имиджа РФ внутри страны и за рубежом.
